Section 1. K.S.A. 2002 Supp. 8-170
is hereby amended to read as
follows: 8-170. (a) Upon the transfer of ownership of any vehicle
regis-
tered under the foregoing provisions of this act, its registration
and right
to use the license plates thereon shall expire and thereafter there
shall
be no transfer of any registration, and the license plates shall be
removed
by the owner thereof and it shall be unlawful for any person other
than
the person to whom such license plates were originally issued to
have the
same in possession. In case of a transfer of ownership of a
registered
vehicle the original owner of the license plates may register
another an-
tique vehicle under the same license plate designation, upon
application
therefor and the payment of a fee of $1.50. On and after January 1,
2000,
any model year license plate transferred shall comply with the
provisions
of subsection (c) of K.S.A. 8-172, and amendments thereto.

(b) Upon the transfer and sale of a
registered vehicle by any person,
the new owner thereof, before using a vehicle on the highways of
this
state, shall make application to the division for registration of
the vehicle.

(c) Certificate of title:

(1) Application for certificate of title
on an antique vehicle shall be
made by the owner or the owner's agent upon a blank form to be
fur-
nished by the division and shall contain such information as the
division
shall determine necessary. The division may waive any information
re-
quested on the form if it is not available. For any antique vehicle
having
a model year prior to 1950, the application together with a bill of
sale for
the antique vehicle shall be accepted as prima facie evidence that
the
applicant is the owner of the vehicle and the certificate of title
shall be
issued for such vehicle. If the application and bill of sale are
used to obtain
a certificate of title for any antique vehicle having a model year
of 1950
or later, the certificate of title shall not be issued until an
inspection in
accordance with subsection (a) of K.S.A. 8-116, and amendments
thereto,
has been completed. The certificate of title shall be delivered to
the ap-
plicant. The certificate shall contain the words ``antique
vehicle.''

(2) The certificate of title shall
contain upon the reverse side a form
for assignment of title to be executed by the owner before
a notary publicor some other officer authorized to administer an
oath. A certificate of
title may be issued under the provisions of this act without an
application
for registration.

(3) The fee for each original certificate
of title so issued shall be $8
until July 1, 2004, and $3.50 thereafter. The certificate of title
shall be
good for the life of the antique vehicle, so long as the same is
owned or
held by the original holder of the certificate of title, and shall
not have to
be renewed. In the event of a sale or transfer of ownership of an
antique
vehicle for which a certificate of title has been issued under the
provisions
of this subsection, the holder of such certificate of title shall
endorse on
the same an assignment thereof, with warranty of title in form
printed
thereon, as prescribed by the director, and the transferor must
deliver
the same to the buyer at the time of delivery of the vehicle. The
buyer
shall then present such certificate of title, assigned as
aforesaid, to the
director or an authorized agent of the director, whereupon a new
certif-
icate of title shall be issued to the buyer, the fee therefor being
$8 until
July 1, 2004, and $3.50 thereafter.

alpha-
bet or numerals or a combination of such letters and numerals. The

con-
notation, as determined by the director, the division shall assign
such
combination of letters to the applicant's vehicle.
